The results showed that these cells could determine when the chemical pulses, which imitated bursts of neurotransmitter in the brain, were repeated rather than simply prolonged -- just as neurons in ...

The white stuff that engulfs these flies is a fungus called Entomophthora muscae — Entomophthora translates to “ destroyer of ...

A mysterious electromagnetic mechanism may be more important than the firing of neurons in our brains to explain our ...

In a new study published in Science, researchers at Harvard Medical School have mapped out the specific sensory neurons and brain pathways responsible for initiating these rapid oscillations that help ...

The brain is a marvel of efficiency, honed by thousands of years of evolution so it can adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world. Yet, despite decades of research, the mystery of how the brain ...

Scientists have uncovered a new neuron type, BNC2, which acts quickly to counter hunger-promoting neurons, potentially ...

we interrogated the spatiotemporal properties of brain-wide neural interactions in olfactory networks. We observed distinct downstream recruitment patterns. Specifically, stimulation of excitatory ...

Jungfleisch uses nanomagnets to store and transmit information and achieves it in a more energy-efficient manner as compared ...

A study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine changes the way we understand memory.

Neuroscientists have identified specialized brain cells that form flexible "coordinate systems" to help us track where we are within a sequence of actions.

Researchers are uncovering deeper insights into how the human brain ages and what factors may be tied to healthier cognitive ...

An analysis of brains at various stages of Alzheimer's found that neurons called inhibitory neurons are the first to be affected by the disease.
